"But at this time, it would not be a good idea to meet after the blood vine incident." Zheng Yuan continued Lin Wu's words.

Moreover, Cheng Wenwei and Zheng Dangjia were both involved in the funeral affairs of the former owner.

Lin Wu suddenly asked, "Do you think that Master Zheng knows about the mural that Deputy Sect Leader Cheng is investigating?"

Zheng Yuan: "I dare not speak nonsense."

"That means you think that Mr. Zheng knows about it." Lin Wu said in a light tone.

It’s really interesting that even Yuan Fengrong didn’t know something, but Zheng Dangjia, an outsider, actually knew it.

…

at the same time.

Inside a club.

The person sitting in a room on the third floor was Cheng Wenwei.

He frowned as he looked at the message on his phone. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

The moment I looked up, the door of the room opened and the staff member stepped aside to make way. Behind him was a middle-aged man with gentle and elegant manners, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a pair of glasses.

It was Zheng Jingmin, the head of Shihang.

Cheng Wenwei put down his phone.

Zheng Jingmin asked the staff to close the door and leave, then he sat down opposite Cheng Wenwei and placed the documents he brought directly on the table in front of Cheng Wenwei.

He got straight to the point and said, "This is the latest research result of my people. Time is too tight, and I can only put the murals you sent me in order and reproduce two pages. My people are still working overtime to translate the rest."

Cheng Wenwei took it and opened it to take a few glances. After confirming that it was correct, he carefully put it away and said, "There is nothing we can do. This time the situation is more difficult."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Jingmin raised his voice slightly.

Cheng Wenwei looked solemn, "Do you know who provided the content of these murals?"

Zheng Jingmin shook his head.

Cheng Wenwei said: "Dao Sheng."

Zheng Jingmin's face changed, "Are you sure?"

Cheng Wenwei then told him everything that happened in Danmaya.

After hearing this, Zheng Jingmin, who was always good-tempered, laughed out of anger, "Mingxian didn't tell me any of this! He's really become more thoughtful as he gets older. He even hid such an important matter from me and only told me about Cheng Man's injury."

"You don't have to blame Mingxian. It is obvious that Daosheng asked him to keep it secret. Even if Daosheng didn't say anything, Mingxian is a smart guy. How could he offend Daosheng and tell him?" Cheng Wenwei said.

Zheng Jingmin choked.

That's true. I didn't expect that my advice to my son to win over the good Taoists would become a nuisance to him in the future.

"What about Daosheng now? She knows so much." Zheng Jingmin was still more worried about this. He had no doubt that with Daosheng's ability, if he continued to investigate, it would not take long for him to find out something that he shouldn't know.

But Cheng Wenwei raised his hand and pointed upwards: "Someone has already noticed Daosheng and is preparing to investigate him."

Zheng Jingmin looked surprised: "You mean, they want to recruit Daosheng for their own use?"

Cheng Wenwei nodded: "Daosheng is indeed so outstanding among the younger generation that his peers can't catch up. It would be best to recruit such a talent. If Daosheng passes the assessment, it will be natural for Daosheng to know those things by then, and we won't have to worry about how to stop Daosheng from investigating and hiding it from her."

Zheng Jingmin thought more: "What if she doesn't pass?"

"How is that possible? Do you still doubt that girl's ability?" Cheng Wenwei denied it reflexively.

Zheng Jingmin smiled helplessly: "Of course I'm not worried about that. But it's not the first day you've known that girl. Do you think she's someone who can be subservient and obedient and not make trouble?"

Cheng Wenwei hesitated.

Looking at the documents in his hand, he calmed down again and said, "It doesn't matter if she didn't join us. You translate all the contents of the murals as soon as possible, and I will delay telling Daosheng. When all the contents are out, I will only tell her the unimportant contents. Stay away from her. If she finds out that it's not what she wants, she will give up."

Zheng Jingmin felt that this was not a good idea, because the girl was not someone who would easily trust others or give up.

He nodded and said, "I will inform you as soon as my people finish reproducing and translating it."

Cheng Wenwei responded, put the documents away carefully, and asked, "I heard Ming Xian went to Lingnan, right?"

Zheng Jingmin looked at Cheng Wenwei in surprise.

Cheng Wenwei said helplessly: "Man'er has been asking me for a long time. He said that after thinking it over, he felt that there was something wrong with Mingxian going to Lingnan and was worried that he would be unsafe. He wanted to go with him, but I stopped him."

Zheng Jingmin suddenly realized and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the relationship between these two guys would be so good. At first I was worried that they couldn't be friends, but now I'm relieved. If something happens to me in the future, Mingxian will have someone he trusts around him."

Cheng Wenwei also thought so, so he never objected to Cheng Man and Zheng Mingxian's relationship.

He asked again about Zheng Mingxian's trip to Lingnan.

Zheng Jingmin said seriously, "I received news a few days ago that a piece of that stone was missing, and Ran asked me to find a way to get another one. I was thinking about how to get out of this and go to Lingnan naturally, but Ming Mingxian asked me about my work as the owner of a funeral business eighteen years ago, and asked me if I received any dried blood vine afterwards, so I asked him to go to Lingnan to check."

"Is he going alone? That's indeed unsafe." Cheng Wenwei frowned.

Zheng Jingmin said, "Don't worry, there are people over there who will cooperate with Mingxian to get the stone. After all, they already have experience in getting the stone, so if we prepare properly this time, it should be foolproof. In addition..."

He paused, and his voice suddenly became low.

"What we do is too dangerous. If we are not careful, we will make too many enemies and lose everything we have. If we really fail in the future, I am afraid that Shi Xing... I hope that at that time, the higher-ups will remember my past kindness and the fact that Mingxian is taking such a risk, and protect Mingxian a little more. This way, he will have no worries in his next life."

After hearing this, Cheng Wenwei felt the same way.

He was doing so much now for the same reason. Seeking the truth for the Xuanmen elders was part of the reason, but more importantly, he was seeking a safe amulet for his child for the rest of his life.

...Wait! "What did you just say?"

Cheng Wenwei suddenly reacted and asked in surprise: "Mingxian asked you about the blood vine?"

Zheng Jingmin nodded.

Cheng Wenwei supported himself on the table and suddenly sat up straight, leaning forward slightly, staring at the other person.

"How did Mingxian know?!" he asked.

Zheng Jingmin said, "When something happened in North City, it was related to the funeral industry. Mingxian asked me about it, and I told him about the previous owner of the funeral industry and told him to be more careful. A few days ago, he suddenly told me that he had found out that the stone industry had received dried blood vines, and asked me if it was true, so I told him a thing or two."

Seeing Cheng Wenwei's face turn even worse, Zheng Jingmin was puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there any problem? Mingxian will know sooner or later, I just told him in advance. He is a thoughtful child, if he doesn't understand, it will hurt his health."

Cheng Wenwei had no idea how to describe his feelings at the moment, and after a long while he managed to utter one sentence: "I'm afraid you've been deceived again!"

Zheng Jingmin: “???”

Cheng Wenwei said: "The person who actually found out was Daosheng! It was because of this that she came to me to ask about the Blackback Mountain incident, instead of asking about the incident in the Human R Continent Danmaya! Before coming to me, Mingxian had already looked for Daosheng. Calculating the time when Mingxian asked you, it should have been that time that Daosheng told him!"

Zheng Jingmin: "?! Are you serious?"

Cheng Wenwei nodded heavily: "Based on my understanding of Daosheng, she must have asked Mingxian to ask about what happened in the past without telling you, because she was afraid that Mingxian would be tricked by you."

Zheng Jingmin's expression changed again and again, gradually becoming ugly.

The next moment, Zheng Jingmin was shocked: "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Cheng Wenwei asked.

Zheng Jingmin stood up suddenly and said hurriedly, "Daosheng's people contacted me this morning and wanted to see me, but I refused. She must have asked me about Mingxian's trip to Lingnan! With her personality, she must see me if she wants to. Maybe she has already found out my whereabouts by now. It would be bad if she knew that I was meeting you."

Cheng Wenwei was also shocked when he heard this, and quickly stood up and said, "Let's go quickly--"

Before he could finish his words, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside.

A voice that sounded like a smile came in.

"We haven't even finished chatting for the day, why are you two uncles in such a hurry to leave?"
